Mississippi Cash 3
Mississippi Cash 3 offers prizes from $36 up to a grand prize of $500, with a range of play types so there are plenty of ways to win. Players have the choice of a $0.50 or $1 wager. The bet selected affects available play types, prize amounts, and odds of winning. Add the Fireball option for more chances to take home a prize.
The game features two daily draws - Midday numbers are drawn at 2:30 PM CT and Evening numbers at 9:30 PM CT. Results are posted on the pages below soon after the draws take place.
How to Play
Select three numbers from 000 through 999 (such as 123) and mark one digit in each column of your playslip. Alternatively, mark Quick Pick and you'll receive a randomly generated selection from the lottery terminal. Mark the draw time you want to enter: Midday, Evening, or Both.
Mark Multi-Draw if you'd like to play the same numbers for multiple draws - up to seven draws in a row. Your ticket will show the draw date you selected.
Next, choose a play type - this determines how your numbers are eligible to make a winning match with the numbers drawn. The top prize for a $1 play is $500 and for a $0.50 play you can win up to $250.
- Exact Order: Match all three winning numbers in the exact order they are drawn. $0.50 or $1 bet. One way to win.
- Any Order: Match all three winning numbers in any order. $0.50 or $1 bet. Play 3-Way or 6-Way depending on how many ways your numbers can make a winning match.
- Exact/Any Order: Match all three winning numbers in any order, or match in exact order to win even more. $1 bet. Play 3-Way or 6-Way depending on how many ways your numbers can make a winning match.
- Combo: Equivalent to multiple exact order bets covering every potential way your numbers can be played - therefore the cost is higher. $1.50-$6 bet; play 3-Way or 6-Way depending on how many ways your numbers can make a winning match.
